okay, first mission story

Okay, you asked for the mission story, and I told you I'd tell it. Well, here we go:
The first mission I ever got was so bizzare. We were all eating breakfast, and one of Them came in and pulled us out of the room. We were guided to a large room with humongous computer screen. A woman with spiked blond hair was on the screen talking to the one of Them we called 'The Director.' When we came in, they stopped short and Mr. Director turned to look at us.
"Oh! You've grown up! All of you! I haven't seen you since you were two years old!" the blond woman said. "I hope you are enjoyed your stay here!" she said with a smile that could blind you.
But neither me, Onix, nor Siron turned away. We wanted to look as though we could run through a steel wall. (Even though we didn't know we actually could!!)
"What're we here for?!" Onix said, and that immediately got her a 100 volt shock from one of the Guards.
"Ah ah ah! Do not speak unless you are spoken to!" the blond woman said. "Haven't these imbecils taught you anything in ten years?!"
"Apparently not," I mouthed to Siron, and she snickered.
"Now, let's start over," the woman said, motioning as though she was wiping off a slate with a paper towel. "I am Mrs. Torrence Royale. I am the 'boss' as you would call me. I kind of, run things from here in my office in New York. Now, Onix, you asked what you three were here for, yes? Well, like it or not, you were designed to be superhuman spies for us."
Onix's mouth hung open, and Siron glanced at me. I kept my eyes fixed on Torrence.
"Yes, take it all in, ladies. You three were brought here because today you are going on a mission for us. I know what you're thinking: Without any training?! Yes, without any training. Truth be told, you don't need any, really. Your instincts with act for you. Please, take a seat, you must be tired of standing up all this time!"
Before we could refuse, three chairs slid out from the walls and knocked us into themselves. They rotated so we could look at her, and elevated to her eye level. (Once again, this was a very, very big tv screen!!)
"Better, hm? Yes, now I will explain your task. Your first mission is. . .here. We will put you in a 3-d course. You have to defuse a 100 pound explosive before the five minute time limit is up. Funny thing is, though, you have to get to the bomb and THEN defuse the bomb. I think you can hadnle it, so we'll go right to it, okay?! Doesn't it sound fun?!!" Torrence continued.
"No!" I said loud enough for her to hear.
I got a response from a guard with like, a 100 foot long shock stick.
"What?!! We were spoken to! Not like you could hear anything through your lead heads!" I yelled down at them.
I got another shock.
"Please, Jamie, there is no need for you to become violent, really," Torrence said as our chairs lowered us to the ground. We started to get up, but she continued,"Your chairs will take you to the mission room."
Our chairs started to slide forward and Siron mouthed to me,"Motion sickness! Ha ha."
I snickered and Torrence continued to yap,"Now I'll explain your objectives. Goals, for your matter. There is one for each of you. Siron, you will be defusing the bomb when you guys get to it. Onix, you will be attacking the guards that are trying to blow up the imaginary 'building.' And Jamie, you will be giuding everyone to the building, got that everyone?"
"Yes, we all said in unison," and a guard got ready to use his shock stick.
"DON'T!" I yelled and turned away from him.
He settled back into his original position and we didn't hear another word from Torrence until we got into the arena.
Onix stood up first, and I followed. Siron was reluctant, but we got her up finally.
"The Guards are giving you special earcuffs now that I'll be able to talk to you through!" Torrence said over the ruckuss of us refusing to let Them put them on.
"No, no. . .give me that!!" Siron said, slapping away a Guard's hand.
"Good, are they on? Excellent. Now, if you'll just step into those uniforms and come back out here when you're done changing," Torrence said, obviously talking about changing in the only other door in the room.
We walked over to three sleek, black catsuits. Mine had blue stripes down both sides, Siron's had yellow stripes, and Onix's had just black. We picked them up and ran to the changing room. Moments later we all stepped out wearing our catsuits, throwing aside our old clothes. (Believe it or not, those things really were comfortable! Not too tight, and not too baggy....hm?)
"Oh, they look just perfect!" Torrence said into our earpieces. "Okay, got to those three portals where the suits were, we can begin. Don't worry, I'll be with you all the way! And let your instincts guide you! And. . ."
We didn't get to hear the last of her chattering our ears off because we were whoosed through those portals and the timer started.
Somewhere, an automated voice said,"T-minus fiev minutes in counting."
"Come on!" I said, this was a winding maze of birck walls, vines, and houses, but somehow I knew every turn. Every dead end we'd get to, I'd know which way to go to get to the 'building' as Torrence called it.
"Good job girls, you're almost there!" she whispered into our earcuffs.
The voice said,"Three and a half minutes in counting." When we finally reached the building.
"Be on your guard, girls. Something isn't right here," I said lowly.
"You're right, Jamie. Something isn't right. That's good, your instincts are woking in sync with your body. Does something not feel..."
After that, I didn't hear Mrs. Royale. Guards with shock sticks busted out from all directions, heading for us.
"Onix, GO!" I shouted, and Onix went into action.
She started knocking them all different ways, taking ut two at once, three, five?! I couldn't believe this. Siron and I had to get in on the fight. Siron was hit by a shock stick, I saw the electric current run through her body. But then, something very weird happened. She strechted out her arms and hands at two Guards, and the electric charge came back at them so powerfully I coul smell the electicity in the air. Siron looked pleased with herself has she watched those Guards take out several others. I decided if she could do something with her abilities, then I could, too. I jumped up, knocking out two Guards at once, and used the rebound to my advantage. I flipped myself over in midair, trying to find some sort of power like Siron did. If I learned to use it at my free will, They were history in the making. I felt coldness in my body, it spread throughout my veins, making them glow blue. The coldness went to my head, giving me a major brain freeze. I decided this was my power, and I picked out a group of huddled Guards,a nd unleashed it. A spray of gut-wrenching Ice Shards came flying out of nowhere and took out the rest of the Guards. I landed and Onix came running over to me.
"How in God's name did you do that?!!" she said, examining one of my arms.
"No time!" Torrence yelled into my ear.
I grabbed both of their arms and pulled them into the building.
"Go, Siron!" I yelled, spotting the bomb and pushing her towards it.
Onix kept watch while I stood over Siron.
"Okay so this. . .and this is. . .no, that can be right. This bomb isn't rigged like most. So. . .there are. . .three red and four yellow . . .and two blue. . .but which to pull? Which one??!! Think. . . .Siron. . .think!!" she was in deep concntration.
The voice said,"Thirty seconds in counting!"
"Come on, Siron, you can do it!" I whispered to her.
She didn't seem to hear it,"Torrence, if there's any time for you to speak it's now! I can't. . .choose which one! It's all . . . .blurry in my . . .mind and the . . .colors. . .they're all. . . .running together! Please help me!"
Apparently there was no response, because Siron just sat there looking at it until time ran out. The simulated bomb 'blew up', and we were whisked back into the large room.
"Well done on everything, girls!" Torrence was waiting for us in the large room we'd first met her in. "I'm sorry about the bomb, Siron. But you'll have to strengthen your mind to see which wire to pull, okay sweetie? And Jamie, excellent display of your main power! That was beautiful! Onix, you are the fighter we designed you to be!"
"Thank you," we all said.
"Well, that's it, mission complete, but not totally complete," Torrence replied. "I'll see you at your next mission. Once again, good job, ladies."

And that's my first mission. Weird, huh? I sure thought so. I mean, Siron having Electricity powers? And ME with Ice? I couldn't believe it. Can you believe it?

Wings, to answer your question of why haven't we escaped yet: We haven't escaped beacuse we just can't . Yes, they do have a way of shutting off our powers, but only inside the walls of LabCorp.
